hahaha I just have to add my two cents to this post cause this **** is hilarious.
The OP is on here talking like no one else on this entire forum has coilovers and that his speed bump issue is unique to him.
Here it is clear and simple, we all hate speed bumps, your car has a bad *** stance but no functionality what so ever especially on the track, that speed bump was not huge so don't use that as an excuse for your poor driving, and from the looks of that Escalade i dont think anyone in your household can drive either.
at least this was a fun post to read...

Wait, I thought lowering your car adds at least 50hp?

I've run over some pedestrians in my life, and I've never gotten hung up on any of them like that.

I'm almost positive his sits lower than that. Although, the Sportlines are pretty much slammed for having springs.

Don't drive like an idiot and you'll be fine.

personally I love the slammed look. I would actually buy stance coils too if they didnt suck so much.

oh well sucks for the OP I'm sure he learned his lesson, I've been there plenty of times (not ripping up speed bumps)

and for everbody critisizing how his car looks I dont see why your bashing him when everybody is praising this guy in this thread and its basically the same exact car except its black instead of blue.

It wasn't so much that he lowered the car, it was him saying how much better it would be on a track.

The blue one looks silly too (IMO) Way too low. Any wheel travel will destroy the tires not to mention that it would probably ride rough as Hell.

To each his own.

I got about 10 huge ones near my house. I have to go at them on a 15 degree angle. It sucks. People try to pass me as I got over them...who passes people on a speed bump?

..... maybe since his rims weigh twice as much as stock Z rims, he can go twice as fast on the track....

Ok, I just spent a few minutes dwindling my life away reading this thread and I'm confused.

Did the OP just come on here to ***** that his personal taste for car height is not compatible with the common sense required to drive on the roads we all deal with every day?

Your car looks clean, but it looks like something a drug dealer would drive. On top of that, you spent HOW long trying to get off a SMALL speed bump? I would have rolled down the window just to laugh at you.

But hey that's just my opinion.
